Inspections

Inspections

Thorough pre-flight and scheduled inspections and regular maintenance of your airplane are essential to ensure the safety of your flight.

Aero Propulsion Technologies is one of the partners in Operation Cross-Check.

Operation Cross-Check

Operation Cross-Check is a program started by individual members of the Canadian ultralight aircraft community. It seeks to improve the safety of flying owner-maintained aircraft of all types by encouraging owners and pilots to inspect each others’ aircraft and submit them for inspection.

There are at present no membership lists, no dues, and there’s no money changing hands. There’s nothing to join, but you can participate. All you have to do is:

Ask a knowledgeable friend to inspect your aircraft every time you do maintenance, and as part of your scheduled inspections.

Inspect other peoples’ planes if they ask you to.

Commit to fixing the snags you find in each others’ planes before you take off again.
